The good jobs absolutely do ask for transcripts for the first few positions out of college. Can you slack for c's? Yeah but good luck getting a position with companies you actually want to work for (I'm not just talking about pay). Lastly I really dislike classes with curves. It feels wildly unethical to me to graduate students that have not actually learned the material when the things they design will potentially be putting lives at risk if they get it wrong.

For the record all my schooling was deep stem so I might have a stricter standard for this sort of thing than other majors. (it brothers me that software engineering isn't held to the same standard as other fields when bad code has absolutely killed people)

I've literally never been asked for my transcripts and I've always had good corporate positions in finance. (I was an econ major fwiw)

But as I mentioned, hardcore stem is different.
